Tale
Following the events of Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, also known as the Penguin, stages a show to seize control of Gotham’s criminal underworld. Colin Farrell and Kristin Milioti talk about how they got into the character during the production of “The Penguin.” Colin Farrell fought hard to get his own smoking tobacco version of The Penguin in Batman (2022), but failed. However, in his own series, the character is depicted as an occasional tobacco user who prefers cigars.
An umbrella falls and the logo is changed to the Warner Bros
logo. Featuring Graham Norton and guests: Lady Gaga/Demi Moore/Colin Farrell/Richard Ayoade/Jack Savoretti (2024). I thought Colin Farrell was great as the Penguin in Batman, but I’ve never understood how you could take a skinny, good-looking actor and put him in massive prosthetics and a fat suit…
But after watching season 1, I will say that this show is amazing (so far)
especially when I think he looks like some other famous actor who would have been just as good. I also never really understood why this spinoff came about, and honestly, I’m just tired of the Batman reboot. I only watched it knowing that I needed to watch the bridge between the first and second movies, and my surprise enjoyment came from Farrell’s role in the first.
But I didn’t expect to like it nearly as much
The acting is great, the writing is great, and it surprised me with some quick twists. The biggest thing I liked was the fact that it had a lot more color than Batman. I noticed this almost immediately, as it was a huge complaint for me about the movie (it felt like I was watching it through Zack Snyder’s lens).
I hope it continues to be just as good, because I really can’t wait for the next episode
